Anyone wanna post pictures of their successful garden tours? I am curious and when I do try (not often) they are not received well...

What is a garden tour?

From what I remember hearing, you use blueprints to build decorations and place them in a garden type area. Once a month you can do a tour. I hear that people can be pretty mean about it.

Its when some (or all) af the villagers come and look at your and (others i think) grade your garden for a prize.

It's one of the hardest festivals to do. They're so harsh! Most of mine have ended in failures.

I managed to get one to work and one that got an average. I'm going to attempt my current month's event soon but I'm not sure what to do for it. I might try either a cow theme or a sheep theme next.

It's seems to be that they like a theme, so items have to match. Also height variety is important so you need to add tall things along with shorter things.

If successful you get some money from the event.

I didn't know you actually had judges go through and look for it, I'm kind of intrigued by this, and kind of can't wait to see what you can build and how you can place it. This just adds another aspect of the game I'm looking forward to.

But, does it just always happen on the same day every month?

Just curious, so I'm always ready!

Oh, okay.
I always hated getting those in the mail

"your house could use some sprucing up"
and it's like five days into the game and you're extremely poor trying to pay off your house payment. XD

So true! xD I hated the almost everyday mail thing too.

But, I think it's awesome you can do a Garden Tour :3 I would probably go with a livestock/ animal theme if that is at all possible.

The judges are random villagers. So it's possible that you'll get your boyfriend turning up and totally slanting your Garden. Which has happened to me.

It is completely possible to do an animal theme. There are cow and sheep fences that are really cute. Plus there's some animal statues you can make. There's also a full rainbow of benches you can make so you can colour theme things. Not to mention all the flowers that you grow can be potted to help with the decoration.

I really want to make an Asian theme but that would require a lot of bamboo and you only get that from random on the Sakura holiday.

When I saw this I was all like, "The Happy Room Academy has turned into into the Garden Tour Academy!"

Then I saw this:
